It's the time period each summer when, usually in the before times, many Information Security / Cyber Security / Hacker Conferences occur in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. As a result many people spend the whole week in Las Vegas in the summer learning (and often partying) which has earned it the nickname "hacker summer camp".

Scholarship Program
Information Security is a constantly changing and evolving field. One of the best ways for us as a community to support those up-and-coming into our industry is to enable students to attend InfoSec conferences for their learning and networking opportunities, in this case “Hacker Summer Camp.” (Hacker Summer Camp is a week of information security conferences all in one place, maximizing the opportunities to learn; Black Hat, BSidesLV, SquadCon, Diana Initiative, Def Con http://hackersummercamp.guide/ ).
